Chapter 31:

The Black Knight

The Legend Of Black Knight


With everyone looking at the clash that was about to begin, Auruwin couldn't afford to be intimidated now, so he straightened his body and pointed his sword at the enemy in front of him.

"If you think he got out alive, he's very wrong, but if he turns himself in now, I'll keep him alive."

"Why don't you cut the bullshit and kill me if you think you can." Satoru finished speaking and slammed his sword into the ground, jamming it, he didn't intend to move until his opponent did first.

"You… will beg forgiveness for being arrogant."

Making his horse move, Auruwin took off running away, when he realized Satoru's intention, he didn't hesitate to charge his magic as much as possible, as soon as he stopped in a straight line, he made his horse run.

His sword glowed blue, the rays spread to all corners, at full speed, probably his strongest attack to date, would be unleashed against a threat never seen before.

"ROAR MY OLYMPUS, OVERLOAD!"

When he got close enough, the hero landed his blow, such a loud sound of thunder resounded throughout the capital and made the ground shake, the impact generated a light so strong that those whose eyes were fixed on the collision were blinded for a few seconds.

"What a surprise, you're the first one I've seen use such strong magic alone."

"IMPOSSIBLE!"

Auruwin himself doubted his eyes when he finally saw the figure of Satoru holding the sword blade in his hand.

“Oh, are you surprised? You'll have to try harder if you want to kill me.”

“Who the hell are you…”

Before he could finish speaking, Satoru pulled the hero from his horse using the blade of his sword and then landed a punch in the enemy's face that was sent rolling on the ground.

"I am the black knight, remember to tell the devil who I am sending you."

Throwing the sword in front of Auruwin, who got up with a bloody nose because he had broken with a punch, using the sword for support, he stood up with his hair all messed up, in one blow all his grandeur was gone.

"Unforgivable, unforgivable, unforgivable, I will not die to the scum!"

Charging his magic again, he ran, moving the weapon quickly and precisely, hoping to transform Satoru into a body full of holes.

"ROAR MY OLYMPUS, COLPI DI RAGGIO!"

For each thrust that was fired, a small ray flashed and crossed the space between the two instantly, without a doubt the power of this technique would kill countless with each ray hit.

But Satoru remained calm, and raised the greatsword which became a shield with the symbol of a dragon, whenever the attacks reached protection, they became like a spring breeze, so harmless they didn't even seem to exist.

By the time Auruwin arrived, he met Satoru and he moved his sword one last time, just like a real bolt of lightning that fell from the sky, the weapon gave its last scream in the form of a bang and collided with full force on the shield.

Then his blade could not hold and broke in half, the pressure exerted on it was so much that the iron with which it was made was destroyed with each blow, and yet, Satoru's shield remained intact.

What Auruwin didn't notice was the fog that now glowed with huge dancing rays, it was almost like looking at a storm cloud up close.

Afraid, the hero took a step back, incredulous, he couldn't understand where so much strength came from, it was practically impossible to go against his blows, but the knight in front of him, without even taking a step.

"Now it's my turn, don't die!"

Turning the shield into a dragon-shaped gauntlet, the bolts streaked through the gauntlet, then hit Auruwin's belly, who was sent flying close to the crowd.

In shock everyone looked on with different reactions, fear, uncertainty, anger, and sadness, no one could process right what was happening, suddenly the pride symbol of the kingdom was being defeated unilaterally.

However, no one stayed there to see how it would end, as soon after, Satoru started walking, with his greatsword back to normal form, he approached calmly and the fog followed him.

“Mister Auruwin!”

While everyone ran in fear, several soldiers started to arrive, causing Satoru to stop and start spinning the greatsword.

"Dark Style, First Sword, Black Horizon!"

As it cut through the air, a wave of black mist rushed towards the soldiers, but impressively, it did not purposely swallow Auruwin.

Suddenly, the scream of countless soldiers was heard, as they seemed to fight against something that existed inside the mist, but finally, a bolt of lightning hit them all, and when they all came back into view, they were dead on the ground after being burned.

Slowly raising his head, Auruwin looked at the dead soldiers in an instant, and his eyes turned red, his anger overcoming fear, decades of his life devoted to this so that he finally obtained a very high place in the realm which only the king was superior.

But now, a man wearing a suit of armor appeared and started to screw it up, the humiliation he was being exposed to seemed even worse. Noticing the armored figure walking towards him, Auruwin raised his fists as if intending to pounce, he had let pride and arrogance soar to his head that he would rather bet on the impossible than surrender.

However, suddenly, a second red light rose and exploded in the sky, Satoru when he saw it, stopped walking and looked at the hero.

"If you'll excuse me, I'm late."

Without saying anything else, the black knight started to run to pick up momentum and jump right away, his direction was obvious, the palace, however, the strangest thing was that the black mist did not follow him, but started to go around the walls as a whole as if trying to make everyone prisoners within the city.

Dismissed as if it were nothing, Auruwin whistled and his horse, which had hidden, appeared, the hero then took a spear and sword from one of the dead soldiers, and began to ride as fast as he could.

Satoru had been watching Auruwin's actions from the beginning, seeing him chasing him, he let out a slight laugh, proud people like himself were predictable even for someone like Satoru who didn't understand others very much.

Moving on, he couldn't wait for the hero to match his speed, the second signal represented the last part of the plan, both Beren, Gileon, and Envy must already be in his position and soon she would arrive.

Right behind, seeing that he could not keep up with the absurd speed of the black knight, Auruwin took the spear and made it complete, shining in blue, and immediately threw it there with a clear shot.

Seeing the object coming towards him, Satoru was in the air, his locomotion was limited, however, this didn't scare him, as he shook the greatsword that collided with the spear and an explosion happened, and then his body was thrown by the force of the impact, however, he was not the only one to be thrown away, the weapon that hit him was successfully repeated and so he passed through a house.

Realizing that he had only helped the enemy to get further away, Auruwin was running out of ideas, everything was only reduced to futility when compared to the strength and adaptability of the black knight.

A large army with countless different soldiers stood in front of the palace steps, they were the last line of defense whose objective was to protect all the nobles of the kingdom and the king himself.

However, when they saw a being in black armor approaching, no one knew how to react, until suddenly they heard a voice.

"Dark Style, Second Sword, Nightfall."

All they could see was a figure spinning a greatsword and then crashing through the soldiers, creating a pillar of darkness and lightning that dispersed in an explosion, taking away everyone in the vicinity.

With the Defense barrier destroyed, suddenly, a black elf, a girl and a human man, left the place they were hiding and stood beside the black knight, to soon after, everyone ran into the palace, maybe he heard soldiers inside, but none of them would be a real problem.

When he finally got to the fallen soldiers, Auruwin didn't even care, the invaders had already entered the palace, so he went straight past the stairs, he entered the palace while running through the luxurious corridors, the bodies of some fallen guards could be found in various parts of the castle.

But when the hero arrived in the throne room, the sight in front of him infuriated him, all the main nobles of the realm were kneeling on the ground, seated on the throne was the black knight with a dark elf on the right and a human on the left.

"How dare you, you worm!"

"Auruwin, please kill these scu...OH!"

When the king, a middle-aged man with a clean beard and velvety clothes, tried to say something, Gileon kicked him and knocked him to the ground.

"You..."

"Enough of the jokes, you came here to finish the fight, isn't it? Very well, let's solve this."

Satoru stood up and drew his sword, stopping in front of Auruwin, he would still give it a chance, if he died the humans won, even though the other side didn't know how unfair the black knight's powers were.

"Okay, don't complain later, ROAR, OVERLOAD!"

Drawing his sword, the knight screamed, and the blade of his sword towards the neck of Satoru who raised the greatsword and parried the blow.

Not wanting to hold back any longer, Satoru made his weapon change again, but this time it was converted into two katanas, along with his armor that kept its intimidating appearance but thinned and traded resistance for agility.

Along with the rays that danced across his body, he moved the left katana to deflect the hero's second attack, then immediately slashed using the right one, which pierced the armor in a vertical motion.

Screaming in pain, the hero took a step back.

Without giving the enemy any chance to compose himself, Satoru moved both swords in an X-shaped cut, which made Auruwin spit blood at having his chest cut like that.

“How can you, the hero…”

Still, in pain, the king tried to say something, but not that he needed to, after all, everyone there already understood, Auruwin didn't have a chance.

“What was a hero, can't even talk anymore? Where's all that confidence?" Satoru lowered his swords, and began to provoke Auruwin who no longer had much strength left, nor could he summon any more lightning.

Seeing him squirm to stay standing, Satoru sighed, he knew what it was like to feel helpless, from the moment he arrived in this world, everything seemed to be against him, but the Void kept him alive even against his will.

And now, three years later, here was the symbol of “peace” of this miserable kingdom, totally helpless struggling to breathe, it was time to finish what he had started.

"I'll hope you still listen to me because your life doesn't depend on me, it's time to pay for your sins, whoever is standing there, doesn't he look familiar?"

Pointing to Beren who was surprised and not knowing how to react in this situation, he finally faced Auruwin face to face after years.

Taking the sword that Auruwin used, Satoru handed it to Beren and said:

"Now, do you have the full right to say, whether this man's life deserves to go on or not?"

Picking up the sword with trembling hands, Beren stared at the man who raised him and then threw it away when he realized he didn't have what he expected, then took another under his tutelage and made him an officer to gain more points with the nobles, until get where you got today.

Beren didn't agree with the massacre of other races, especially after his experience, his questioning about being on the right side got worse, but now here he was, ready to turn the tables, only his hand didn't move, the ghost of his father was right behind Auruwin facing him.

After a few seconds, he dropped the sword and knelt looking at Satoru.

"II can't take any more lives, please...I don't want to."

Seeing the kneeling man tremble, Satoru took his sword and placed his hand on Beren's shoulder.

"I don't forgive you for what you did, but at least this desire to not be able to take a life, I respect, it seems that in the end, he is under the jurisdiction of the dark elves, after all, he must surely have killed a lot of your race. ”

Satoru threw the sword to Gileon who looked at the hero, and approached the hero, kicking his legs, he fell to his knees.

"Today I will not bring revenge, but justice to them, so as king of the dark elves, I sentence you to death."

Without wasting much time, Gileon swung his sword and shocked everyone by slicing the hero's neck.

"And now, Sato… I mean, black Knight, what do we do?" Gileon asked putting the sword aside.

Satoru stared at the king who was looking in terror, and then put his hand on his head, and then the goo that came out of his nail entered his ear, as soon as he got the memories he needed, he looked at Gileon.

"The king and queen are yours, as agreed, just bring the crown back, let the rest go to their deserved fate."

After saying that, the throne room filled with countless screams of fear, leaving it, Satoru, Gileon, and Beren met with Envy who has 4 cloth bags larger than her, accompanying the trio were also two couples and seven children.

Satoru took the bags and threw them out the window, Envy flashed a smile that wasn't shown because of the mask.

Beren still had a haggard face, but for some reason in his mind, it was as if a weight had been lifted, looking at the young man who hated him, he, unlike the other part, felt respect, so young and could be a thousand times better than he, having led a revolution never seen before.

Gileon, carrying the bloodstained crown, all the remaining nobles were still alive, but locked forever inside that room, waiting for the end.

Among the children who followed them, there were three princes and a princess who now had no more power, the other three children were children of the nobles, they were still alive as they had no involvement with their parents' actions.

The two couples were minor nobles, barely holding power, and therefore not involved in the realm’s politics, so they also had no opinion of the other races.

As soon as they left the palace, the city was already surrounded by fog and nothing else could go out or in unless it knew how to fly. The soldiers were all down enough already that they no longer had the strength to react, and the remaining dark elves waited outside the palace.

With most of the population staring at the top of the staircase, Satoru stepped forward, while all the trio stood by his side, for all to see, that the fall of the realm had been caused by dark elves and humans.

“LISTEN, EVERYONE! I am the Black Knight, the one who defends the weak, marks my words and spread them, all who dare to enslave and kill the weaker races, felt my wrath, just like your king.”

Satoru caught her with the king's blood and threw her at the foot of the stairs.

"Now go, and tell everyone, that the black knight will even face the gods if need be!"

When his voice finished echoing through the city, a roar came from the cloudy sky that formed, and then a red light suddenly crossed the sky as if burning it in the middle and destroyed the entire palace, only to be followed by a giant dragon to land. amidst the flames, and causing the ashes to fly across the sky and begin to fall.

That day, at that moment, no one said anything else, they just stared in silence at the figure who brought a legendary day whose tales would span generations.
